I took the car to APD today describing to Danial my suspicion on the cause of overheating being due to the fan. I had noticed before that the left side fan rotated while the right fan didn't even spin. True enough, APD diagnosed the cause of the overheating as due to the fans. Ali, the supervisor, said that the left fan was not really rotating well while the motor of the right one is damaged due to, most probably, over voltage.
One fan motor cost RM 750/= and if I wanted to change the 2 motors it would set me back some RM 1,500/= just for the fan motors only. He suggested that I installed a complete set of a used fan system (2 fans + 2 motors + housing) for RM 900/= only. I thought about it for awhile and fearing that the same thing might happen again, I decided to replace the fan motors with new ones and damn the cost. Who's to say that the used motors might conk out again. After all the second hand parts dealer did not give a guarantee.
As it was already late, Ali said that the car had to be left there overnight, and that it would be ready the next day. On that note, I left APD for home.
